Welcome to the latest chapter of Plan and Escape
This blog was made for curious souls, adventurers, daydreamers and anyone who believes travel should be meaningful and fun.
Escape into a space where wanderlust meets aesthetic obsession, and every post is packed with inspiration for your next slow adventure. A bad map that leads to a good story. From Wes Anderson-esque stays and rooftop sunsets to spontaneous road trips through lesser-known places, a well-designed chair, greenhouses, libraries with character and that one pink café I still dream about… this is travel curated by a detail-loving, coffee-fueled planner (hi, it’s me).
Here you’ll find my curated itineraries, easy travel guides, photo essays and visual inspiration rooted in sustainability. All based on my personal adventures and endless curiosity. Also, all written and photographed by me. This is a space for travelers who want to go deeper, travel slower and dream a little bigger.
So whether you’re a first-time traveler or a seasoned explorer, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Come for the castles, stay for the red wine.
Let’s make every journey an unforgettable escape!
BEHIND THE ESCAPE
Hello you, I’m Malin.
I’m a the writer, photographer, coffee-drinker, snack enthusiast and curious traveler behind Plan and Escape. A Copenhagen-based travel blog rooted in sensory storytelling, sustainability and creative inspiration.
I’m endlessly curious. Raised by the sea, obsessed with finding beauty in the in-between. Some of my greatest joys? I’m an architecture enthusiast and photographer with a serious case of wanderlust. I’m that person who has everywhere on their list and always has another escape in the works.
This blog is part archive, part mood board. A collection of the adventures I’ve taken and the ones I’m still dreaming up. You’ll find full city itineraries, hidden gem guides and travel tips to help you plan your own unforgettable journeys.
This blog started in March 2020 (from a tiny apartment in Copenhagen) as a dreamy side project. Basically, a way to daydream through lockdowns and keep the spirit of discovery alive – simply escape.
Today, it’s a trusted space for travelers seeking meaningful, beautiful and thoughtful ways to explore the world. A space for slow escapes, thoughtful stories and sustainable travel inspiration. It is crafted to make you feel like you’ve seen the world, even from your sofa.
What does escape really mean?
To some, it’s running away.
To me, it’s leaning in.
Escape means turning curiosity into plane tickets, inspiration into itineraries and everyday routines into once-in-a-lifetime memories.
It’s not about disappearing. It’s about discovering.
Whether it’s a hidden café in Copenhagen, a castle on a cliff or a color-drenched boutique hotel in Lisbon. Plan and Escape is for travelers who crave beauty, stories and soul.
Because the best escapes don’t just take you away, they take you deeper.
Let’s keep chasing the world. Slowly, creatively and consciously.
